Adjournment

Honourable senators, with leave of the Senate and notwithstanding rule 5-5(k), I move:

That, when the Senate next adjourns after the adoption of this motion, it do stand adjourned until Monday, September 28, 2026, at 6 p.m.;

That rule 3-3(1) be suspended on that day;

That, for greater certainty, committees normally scheduled to meet on that day and those separately authorized by the Senate to meet on that day be authorized to meet, even though the Senate may then be sitting, with rule 12-18(1) being suspended in relation thereto; and

That, notwithstanding the order adopted on June 10, 2026, Senate committees be authorized to meet from September 21, 2026, to the end of the day on September 25, 2026, with rule 12-18(2) being suspended in relation thereto.

The Hon. the Speaker: Is leave granted, honourable senators?

Hon. Senators: Agreed.
